[quote=Anonymous]I'll add this to the mix.  My bright, motivated rising 11th grader with ADHD and anxiety is thriving at Basis.  Basis does not use block scheduling, so the shorter classes and more transition times have made it easier for my kid to stay focused.  In the early grades, they teach the kids how to keep track of assignments and tests, and that has been invaluable.  The rigidity and clear expectations help my kid's anxiety, since they know what to expect and don't feel like they're being thrown a lot of curveballs.  Frequent testing has helped the anxiety, since they're used to it and feel like they have some control over the situation.

Of course, everyone's mileage may vary with this.  I just wanted to put it out there for anyone weighing whether basis could be a good fit.  The best part, though, is that if it's not a good fit, it should be obvious to the parents and kids by the end of 5th or 6th, and the kid can leave with at least some of the organizational skills taught in 5th/6th + a solid education for 5th/6th.
